Vibrance Health in Wharton County has teamed up with MD Anderson Cancer Center for a unique blood drive that allows donors to specify a patient to receive the donation. This partnership offers a $25 credit on the identified patient’s bill for every successful donation. The collaboration with MD Anderson emphasizes the connection between Vibrance Health’s Gastroenterology Department and MD Anderson, as patients with detected issues are directly referred to MD Anderson for further treatment.
The blood drive, scheduled for January 24th, provides an opportunity for individuals to make a difference in the lives of cancer patients. Donors can visit Vibrance Health to donate whole blood or platelets and designate a specific patient to benefit from their donation. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Vibrance Health, located at 2112 Regional Medical in Wharton.
Appreciation t-shirts and refreshments will be provided to all donors, and appointments can be scheduled online. Donors must bring a picture ID to participate in the blood drive. For more information, individuals can call 713-792-7777. This partnership between Vibrance Health and MD Anderson offers a unique opportunity for community members to support cancer patients in need.
